Temporarily deputized as a federal agent, Tracy tracks Boris Arson across the country when the criminal genius plans to rob six safes in six different states, all at the same time. But the criminal has a knack for escape, and leads Tracy and Pat Patton on a merry chase with the help of cronies like Cutie Diamond and his own sister, Zora Arson. 9-in. x 12-in., 96 pages, B&W. NOTE: Publication date of 1937 is not confirmed, but probably correct based on dates for issues that followed. Cover price $0.10.
